Notes

The design of these bogies comes from approaching a commercial motor/tranmission company and asking for a drive solution which would be robust and maintenance free. The solution of axle mounting a motor gearbox assembly direct on to the wheel set provides direct power with virtually no tranmission noise,.

I don't do chains. They stretch and need constant oiling. Toothed modern rubber belts do not stretch and will out last many chain sets while needing no lubrication. Belts are almost silent in operation.
